Barnardos Missing Service, Kirklees

Region: Yorkshire and Humber

The Barnardo’s Missing Service works with young people at their point of return from going missing. We work with those aged 10 to 16 years who live with at home with parent/s and those aged 10 to 18 who are looked after. We work in partnership with Police, Social Care and Health. We offer a confidential service to young people when they return home or to their care base. We are a young people focused service. Our aim is to explore risks and to look at strategies for keeping young people safe. We know that going missing can be linked with risks of sexual exploitation or offending. Our service is short term, which could include family work, parent/ carer support, crisis intervention, advocacy or a volunteer for a listening and support service. We will also offer to support young people to access services and resources they feel are appropriate for them.
